NEWCONCEPT3Lesson9-FlyingCat西方人眼中的猫猫在西方被称为巫婆的熟友,这起因与中世纪的迷信----撒旦(Satan)魔鬼最喜欢化做一只黑猫,巫婆则常带这一只猫作为熟友相伴。这一迷信源自于有关枷兰提亚(Galenthias)化作一只猫,成了魔术女神海克提(Hecate)的女祭司(Priestess)。1.在古罗马,猫是自由的象征,自由女神(thegoddessofLiberty)常被刻画成脚下伴着一只猫。猫之所以用以象征自由,是因为猫是热爱自由的,没有什么动物像猫那样强烈地反对管制。2.在古埃及,猫被认为是神圣的。象征着哺育生命的阳光巴斯特女神(thegoddessBast)常被描绘成猫首人身,这大概是因为猫喜欢晒太阳。公元前一世纪著名的希腊历史学家告诉我们,在埃及无论谁杀死了一只猫,哪怕是因事故所致,也要被处以死刑。3.雄猫在苏格兰被称作“吉伯猫”(Gibcat),雌猫则被称作“多伊猫”(Doecat)。猫也用来比喻恶毒的女人,如果你说的是恶言毒语,人们会说你“猫一样的”(catty)•GIBCAT•DOECAT•苏格兰折耳猫ScottishFold;Felis•TwelveChineseZodiacSigns['zodɪ'æk]十二生肖,木乃伊【Newwordsandexpressions】★Fascinatev.迷住,吸引住(causetobeinterestedorcurious)attract,charm,capture,appeal,addicted,lure,seduce,tempt,entice[ɪn'taɪs]引诱诱惑,beguile[bɪ'ɡaɪl](诱惑别人上当),talisman['tælɪsmən]护身符glamour英['ɡlæmə]n.魅力,魔力;迷人的美vt.迷惑,迷住1.Angelsfascinate,asChristmas-card-makersrediscovereveryyear.天使令人着迷,正如圣诞卡制造商们每年一再发现的那样。2.Suchphotosalwaysfascinateme.Imeanthecolorphotosfromthepast,theolderthebetter.这样的照片总是很吸引人,来自过去的彩照是越老越好。3.Sequoiasfascinatepeoplebytheirsizeandage.红杉魅力无穷,其树身之大,寿命之长,令人赞叹。1)befasinatedwithE.gHeisfascinatedwithchess.AreyoufascinatedwithEnglish?2)=like,love,befondofTheboyisfondoffootball.3)=becrazyabout:着迷bemadaboutHeiscrazy/madaboutmusic.Heisfascinatedwithmusic.4)fascination,fascinating吸引人的,令人陶醉的,令人着迷的;迷人的Sweetmusicisfascinating.★affectionateadj.充满深情,柔情的noveletishn.二流中篇小说的;低级趣味的;柔情的(novel新奇的,异常的)Catsareaffectionateanimals.affectionatelyadv.Theladyislookingthatmanaffectionatelyaffection:n.感情,喜爱例句1.Hewascertainlyanaffectionatefellow.他无疑是一个富有情义的人。2.Itwasallowingtohistooaffectionatenature,whichcravedforadmiration.这都是因为他生性太重感情,渴望得到敬慕。★mysterious[mɪ'stɪrɪəs]追根溯源:mystery→mysteriousmystery[ˈmɪstəri]:神秘,奥秘n.谜面,神秘感(mysteries复数,秘籍,秘诀)=riddle谜语例句:1.Ghosttownsgivepeopleatangibleconnectiontoamysteriouspast,saysMrBaker.贝克先生说,废弃的城镇让美国人和神秘的过去有了切实的联系。2.Thewomanseemeddesirous,yetreluctanttospeak,andansweredinlow,mysterioustone.那妇人好象想说,但又有点踌躇,她放低了嗓门神秘地说。adj.神秘的,难以理解的amysteriousplanamysteriousexplanationconundrum英[kə'nʌndrəm]美[kə'nʌndrəm]n.难题;谜语;谜语;难题;含恢谐;谜题短语ConundrumSphinx谜题史芬斯★submissiveadj.服从的,顺从的obedinent(服从,听话,孝顺)Areyouobedient?tame(驯服的,温顺的;乏味的,v制服,驯服)well-trained,potty(傻气的,微不足道的)trained小孩上厕所的如厕,便盆compliant(compliant英[kəm'plaɪənt]美[kəm'plaɪənt]adj.顺从的;服从的;应允的complianttype顺应式Ifsomeoneissubjecttoaparticularsetofrulesorlaws,theyhavetoobeythoserulesorlaws.受…支配的Docile温顺的,驯服的,容易调教的resigned顺从的,辞职的gothic哥特式的,野蛮的Dogsandhorsesaresubmissive,butCatsareneversubmissivetous.besubmissivetosb.submitv.submitoneselftosb/sthsubmissionn.屈服;提交★feline英['fiːlaɪn]美['filaɪn]adj.猫科的;猫一样的;狡猾的(synonyms:designing/knowing/subtle)n.猫科动物(synonyms:cat)dogly,狗的,狗类的doglike忠实的,像狗的catty如猫的,阴险狡猾的anguine似蛇的ursine似熊的★independencen.独立,独立性depend:依靠Youmustdependonyourselfdepend,dependenceindependentadj.Youhavealreadygrownup,youmustbeindependent.independence,independentPhrases:theDeclarationofIndependence独立宣言independenceday美国独立纪念日(7月4日)economicindependence经济上的独立warofindependence独立战争independencehall独立大厅(位于美国费城,独立宣言签字处)★high-riseadj.高层的n高楼,大厦摩天大楼skyscraper(刮刀机,铲土机)★windowsill(sill窗台,基石,门槛)n.窗槛,窗台阳台:balcony★paratrooper(abbre.para,trooper骑兵,伞兵,装甲兵,州警察。troop军队,组,一群)n.伞兵★squirrel(squirrel英['skwɪr(ə)l]美['skwɝrəl]n.松鼠;松鼠毛皮vt.贮藏[复数squirrels或squirrel过去式squirrelled或squirreled过去分词squirrelled或squirreled现在分词squirrelling或squirreling])mountainsquirrel山松鼠chipmunk花栗鼠;金花鼠flickertail(chippy,also浪漫女子)skunk黄鼠狼★air-resistance,气阻,空气阻力(resistant抵抗的,抵抗者)re-sist抵抗;n.[助剂]抗蚀剂;防染剂as-sist帮助insist坚持★impactn.冲击力;影响;效果(influence影响力,effect作用,效果,影响)=makedifferences1.Theimpactofthecrashhurtledthedriveragainstthewindshieldofthecar.碰撞的冲击力使驾驶员猛撞在车子的挡风玻璃上。2.Tocreatestrongvisualimpactinyourpages,makesomethingsstandout.创建具有冲击力的,突出某项,这是最好的方法。短语:environmentalimpact环境冲击,环境影响environmentalimpactassessment环境影响评价impactresistance抗冲击性;冲击阻力economicimpact经济影响visualimpact视觉冲击,视觉震撼;视觉效果近义:effect,impression,influence,infection(感染力,传染力)★Stretchout(stretching,stretched,stretches)伸展四肢;伸出手,伸出脚1.phrasalverb.(Ifyoustretchoutorstretchyourselfout,youliewithyourlegsandbodyinastraightline.)(使)平躺例:Thebathtubwastoosmalltostretchoutin.这个浴缸太小了躺不下。2.PHRASALVERBIfyoustretchoutapartofyourbody,youholditoutstraight.伸出例:Hewasabouttostretchouthishandtograbme.他正要伸手抓我。•TextAnalysisCatsneverfailtofascinatehumanbeings.Theycanbefriendlyandaffectionatetowardshumans,buttheyleadmysteriouslivesoftheirownaswell.Theyneverbecomesubmissivelikedogsandhorses.Asaresult,humanshavelearnedtorespectfelineindependence.Mostcatsremainsuspiciousofhumansalltheirlives.Oneofthethingsthatfascinatesusmostaboutcatsisthepopularbeliefthattheyhaveninelives.Apparently,thereisagooddealoftruthinthisidea.Acat’sabilitytosurvivefallsisbasedonfact.猫总能引起人们的极大兴趣。它们可以对人友好,充满柔情。但是,它们又有自己神秘的生活方式。它们从不像狗和马一样变得那么顺从。结果是人们已经学会尊重猫的独立性。在它们的一生中,大多数猫都对人存有戒心。最使我们感兴趣的一件事情就是一种通俗的信念——猫有九条命。显然,这种说法里面包含着许多真实性。猫在跌落时能够大难不死是有事实作为依据的。GrammerPoints1.neverfailtocan'tfailto,don'tfailto,否定词+failto(从没不,总能,总会。。。)neverfailto,双重否定意味肯定,运用双重否定结构加深句子的语义Ifyouaskforhelpinthepoliteway,youneverfailtosucceed.Ifyoureceiverequestslikethis,you'llneverfailtoaccept.常见的双重否定结构1)否定的形容词
